Guide

This list is only for the Wikimedia Commons. If you want to be registered to approve category redirects, add your name to the bottom of the list on the talk page. Any admin can add any user to the list of enabled users. Administrators do not need to be in this list, as they automatically have a trusted status. Before using this bot feature, please ensure you are familiar with commons policies/guidelines.

  • Check every edit before you save it.
  • Don't do anything controversial with it. Changing categories can be highly disputable on Commons.
  • Abide by all Wikimedia Commons guidelines, policies and common practices.

Repeated abuse of these rules will result, without warning, in your authorisation being cancelled.

For security reasons, users who have a history of vandalism or being blocked for similar reasons will likely not be accepted to use the bot feature. The bot feature may also be disabled if the user is blocked for vandalism or disruption.

As a rule of thumb, users with fewer than 500 edits in will not be added to the list. You can check your edit count through this tool (in the Wiki-field type commons . wikimedia).

Also, to reduce bureaucracy, you will not be notified when/if you are added to the list of enabled users. (Instead, keep this page on your watchlist; when you see your name has been added, you should find you are able to use CategoryRedirectBot functionality).

All entries should be part of a bulleted list.
